->''It's easy to justify a lot of things about [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline Kirito]] because he has no defined personality at all. But when you add to those traits the fact that he's got the scripting skills to not just hack the game from inside it, but to custom write code in the space of a few seconds'' '''to store data as an in-game object,''' ''I gotta call bullshit. Hacking games require time and at least some knowledge of the source code. There's no way Kirito has that. Even if the thousand or so carefully selected beta testers for SAO were data-mining the shit out of the game, they only had it for a little over a month over summer vacation, and they only had a fraction of the content. It would be hard to get a full picture of how the game works in that timeframe under normal circumstances, but SAO is also the first game of it's kind built from the ground up for incredibly complicated brand-new proprietary hardware. So already, Kirito is doing something that nobody outside the company should know how to do. But even if we assume that there's a command already in place to store a script as an in-game object, think about what he's storing. Yui is a fucking A.I, the most complicated kind of program conceivable. Her code needs to be'' '''immense''' ''to account for the broad amount of situations she might need to deal with. And it also needs to be capable of re-writing itself on the fly in real time! Kirito is taking that huge complex code, saving it's current state of operation, and converting that information into a custom item, in a game who's script he must be figuring out in real time, all in the space of a few seconds! [[BigNo NO!]] [[Main/PunctuatedForEmphasis Not! Fucking! Possible!]] In this moment, Kirito ceases to be a real human being, and I lose all suspension of disbelief for this entire show. It's just not believable that any person could be capable of pulling off the shit that we've seen him do up to this point. Maybe some of it. But not all of it.

->''The heroine is usually an heiress, [[BlueBlood probably a peeress in her own right]], with perhaps [[AristocratsAreEvil a vicious baronet]], an amiable duke, and an irresistible younger son of a marquis as lovers in the foreground, a clergyman and a poet sighing for her in the middle distance, and [[LoveDodecahedron a crowd of undefined adorers dimly indicated beyond]].

Or it may be that [[RagsToRoyalty the heroine is not an heiressĖthat rank and wealth are the only things in which she is deficient; but she infallibly gets into high society, she has the triumph of refusing many matches and securing the best]], and she wears [[EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry some family jewels]] or other as a sort of crown of righteousness at the end. Rakish men either bite their lips in impotent confusion at her repartees, or [[EasyEvangelism are touched to penitence by her reproofs]], which, on appropriate occasions, rise to a lofty strain of rhetoric; indeed, there is a general propensity in her to make speeches, and to rhapsodize at some length when she retires to her bedroom.

->''Y'know, I think I understand the Mary Sue a little better now. What makes a Sue isn't that they have limitless powers and quirks and "special" qualities... it's need. Mary Sues are generally "chosen ones," destined to save others. The world revolves around them as a perfect crystal star. But it's all window dressing... there's no room in the story for anyone else to truly help them better themselves, denying them the potential for growth and increased empathy. They love people, but they don't need them. But Kirk, the Doctor, Wolverine... they DO need people. They have flaws which require the presence of others to counteract. Kirk is headstrong and cocksure, the Doctor can get lost in his god-complex and lose perspective, Wolverine just goes nuts sometimes. While they're certainly brilliantly capable, to be at their very best they must connect with those around them. Even Superman needs to be brought down to Earth by Batman now and then. But each Sue is an island. This may be the key to their downfall, because this is why no one loves them like they seem to think they should. They don't NEED to connect with others for support, their empathy is purely cosmetic. They're each designed so that they can handle any situation with nothing but their own perfect attributes.''--> Found in the comments of the webcomic Webcomic/EnsignSueMustDie

->''Having a relatable character is key to writing a story, and who's more relatable than You? You know You better than anyone, and if there's one thing You know about You, it's that You are great.
